Trump Says He Sleeps Only a Few Hours Each Night

[MineralMan]

Would someone donate a CPAP machine to the White House, so the poor man can get some shuteye?

[Orrex]

1. And most of the day, to judge from the evidence.

[MineralMan]

3. Well, he does wake up long enough for the odd Tweet or two.

Kind of like my older dog. When you walk past him, he rouses himself just enough to slap his tail against the floor a couple of times. Otherwise, it's hard to tell he's still with us.

[Blue_Roses]

8. lol...

[Orrex]

9. Yes, they certainly are odd

[Binkie The Clown]

2. Let him be. Cronic sleep deprivation is strongly tied to increased mortality. Let Trump be Trump. nt

[MineralMan]

5. Yabbut, it also can lead to hallucinations and weird thinking.

Hmm...

[Sculpin Beauregard]

4. Narcissistic mania

[TheBlackAdder]

23. He wakes, he takes a shit, he tweets, he gets out of bed. Tough to sleep with a 2-ton poo in pants.

[True Dough]

6. Shouldn't surprise anybody...

He's busy sucking the life blood out of healthcare.

[GallopingGhost]

26. Damn, he's even a repulsive vampire. n/t

[DefenseLawyer]

7. Insomnia is a side effect of Propecia

that he takes for male pattern baldness; along with impotence, dizziness, anxiety attacks and "brain fog".

[irisblue]

10. No that thing has much better insurance than I do. He can pay for his own medical equipment.

I don't doubt the ghosts of the WH are keeping that fool up @ night (Daily Kos article Feb 2017) mayhap one of them would pinch the cpap hose or the hose& mask do not get cleaned thoroughly enough. just in case

[Orsino]

11. Therefore he doesn't.

That was easy.

[Johonny]

12. do do do doot cocain

[JoeOtterbein]

28. Yep!

[boston bean]

13. And gets his best rest hanging upside down from his toes on a broomstick that hangs acrcoss his

Golden gilded closet.

[irisblue]

14. Bats are useful, some are even cute. trump is neither

For the record, a friend 'adopted' a bat for me from the bat bridge in Austin Tx.

[0rganism]

15. what a coincidence! i haven't been sleeping well for the last few months myself

i think there may be a common cause for both of our insomnia

[eShirl]

16. possible effect of dementia

[Corgigal]

17. This useless old macho men

Rumsfield didn't sit down at a desk. All a bunch of silly ass men worried what other men think. Women go through this phase too, but we normally outgrow it by our middle years.

[Demtexan]

18. Stress will do that.

He promised uncle putin certain things.

He owes a lot of money to rich russians.

Law enforcement is breathing down his neck.

He has to worry who might turn on him in his little circle.

So many things to think about.

He is cornered rat.

No offense to rats.

[louis-t]

19. That's why he's such an asshole during the day.

Needs his nappy.

[Demtexan]

22. You can tell he is not sleeping.

He has bags under his eyes.

His face has aged a lot.

He is 70 years old.

His health sucks.

[hatrack]

30. He turns 71 next month

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock . . .

[Hekate]

20. He's 70 and also needs something for that enlarged prostate that wakes him up...

But if it would help the cause, I do have an old CPAP in excellent condition that Blue Cross paid for in full a dozen years ago.

I've long since been prescribed upgrades, and have had no idea what to do with the old one.

[irisblue]

25. Womens homeless shelter maybe? nt

[BannonsLiver]

21. I'm working on mild sleep deprivation

About 4-5 hours the last two nights. And I feel like hot garbage. Fortunately it's rare occurrence for me. I can't imagine what it must be like to feel like this all the time, let alone while "trying" to run the country. This is a deeply unhealthy practice for Trumpenfuhrer.

[Demtexan]

24. Had that for awhile.

Stress at work.

Had to go to the clinic.

Got Zoloft and sleep well.

[Exultant Democracy]

31. After a week or two it's not to hard to adjust

To 4-5 hours. I spend a couple months every year on short sleep and the first few days are the worst. Of course then I do nothing but sleep for a few weeks to a month after it's over.

[appleannie1943]

27. If he had any conscience at all, he would not sleep period.

[maveric]

29. Yeah. The Coke will do that to you.

Or the Meth.

[Freethinker65]

32. Change in sleep patterns in elderly is common with cognitive decline. Not something to brag about

My Dad started sleeping less at night and would wander around. He also developed a restless leg thing that, while she understood was part of his decline, was very frustrating for my Mom to sleep through. Perhaps that is another reason Melania prefers staying at Trump Tower? My Dad got enough sleep by taking occasional naps throughout the day. Would not be at all surprised if Trump does the same.

I have often thought about Trumps late night/early morning Tweets being the result of his probable late night wanderings. As I have said before, Trump's behavior reminds me a lot of my Dad's during his dementia.
